The Mormons.

Latest sdVices go to show that the
AorDons are trying to form a state
constitution, leaving out polygamy,
bat incorporating the general mar
riags laws of the other states. Of
course this may be but a blind, and
ii il 80 regarded by many thinking
people. II onoe they were admitted
10 the Union as state they might
amend their constitution and ingram
shsir peculiar institution in their
commonwealth for ever. 1t could
then snly be- uprooted by an amend
nsRt to the Federal constitution in
the nasal way which would regulate
ths marriage laws alike in all Of the
states. This would be well, irrespec-
tive Of the Mormon problen. There
Is no good reason to suspect that the
Asrmsns are double dealing in this
matter, however. The people in Utah
are terribly disgusted with the in
stisHtion." They are deceived peo-
pie, and are many of them, exceed
iasly siek of the disgusting cancer.
Largely they were deceived and eame
to Utah without any idea of such =
thing. The institution is doomed
aHyAov. The spirit of tho ago is
sss;ast it, and the leaders may be
shsrp enough to see this. We shall
reioiss 10 see the AsrMon monster

Ship Building at Port Ludlow

Written for the AEGUs.l
The firm of Middimas i Bonle have
been erecting two fine ocean crafts at
Port Ludlow; one of them to carry
1,0O0.000 feet of lumber and the other
$4,000 feet.
\ ship upon the stocks is of much
interest to an observer. Many have
never seen a.ship in process of erec-
tion. First, the keel IS laid, then the
great ribs rise up, then soon the levi
athan resembles huge skeleton sus-
pended in the air; but ere long the
great planks are driven on by mails
three to six feet long, the caulkiug
progresses, the finishing work begins
and in due time she is ready to be
launched.
When the w FJewett was launched
recently at Port Ludlow, many came
from quite distance to witness the
ceremony. At a given signal a long
row of men each side CT the keel,
benoath the ship, began splitting
away the keel blocks. There was a
din of blows from both sides, the
blocks gave way; the great ship set
tied stern first towards the bay, then
down she swept, and buried her hull
in the waves. Then came in tie in
teresting part, the christening of the
ship, for u ship is not named previous
to the day OF launching. A young
lady has been previously chosen, in
this instance Miss Minnie Snelgrove
of Port Ludlow, VINO stands promi-
nently upon the bow of the ship, with
bottle OF spirits, designed as an
oblation TO King Neptune. As the
waves are reached the young lady
breakt the bottle ofer the waters, at
the same time pronouncing the name
of the ship and calling for three
cheers. Thus the ship is christened
and the cheers are given with will
midst blowing of whistles and wav-
ing of flags. This oblation to King
Neptune of tho trident, is very i'm
portant ceremony. 1t is to propitiate
his favor for fair voyages. The old
seamen tell us that many ships no
glecting this, have been caught in
the hurricane, forever after to wander
the sea phantom ship and ghastly
crew without helm, or pert, or pilot.

The University Question.

Seattle Press: IT the ARGUS will
pardon the suggestion, kindly offered
it may condemn the action of the
conference as much as it pleases, and
meet with general approval. but it is
hardly fair to pick out one or two in
dividuals of that body and visit upon
them all its displeasure.
If our friend will permit sugges-
ton, the ARGUS does not desire to do
injustice in this matter. 1t believes
that 4 majority of the conference
would have voted right on the uni-
versity question if their minds had
not been warped and misled by the
Vaccinations and misrepresentation
OF just two or three individuals.
These men are pretty well known 10
the public by this time. We hold
them largely personally responsible
for the whole trouble-hence we visit
our displeasure upon them specially.
We have driven them into a corner
from whence they cannot emerge with
anything like vindication. The
ringleader, who laid the wires before
hand, then made motion in cons
ference to shut out all discussion by
lay members, is the man who above
all is most directly responsible. He
is the one who has done the most
downright prevarication; he is the
one who has scrupled not at ques-
tionable methods to accomplish his
purposes; and he Is the one we are
determined to hold before the public
until all have had chance to get a
good square look at him. We have
addressed him a number of plain
neutrality-suspicious. which, under
the circumstances, we have a right to
ask-questions which, under the cir
oumstances and surrounding facts,
hs dare not answer. Some men might
feel in our position like abusing the
whole conference; in fact aUe feel
sometimes as though it would not be
unjust II We were to take about d
thousand dollars worth et satisfac
tion out In that way; and yet, it would
not be just. Such course would be
very unjust to those who voted to
stand by their contract with Port
Townsend; it would also be unjust to
those who would have done right if
they had been in possession of all the
facts III the case, or, if they had been
blessed with little more practical,
hard business horse" sense. Judg-
Jag men by their intentions, there
were but few really deserving severe
eensure. OF course there were the
half dozen who had no part nor lot
! III making the contract, yet voted TO
violate 1t; they are too insignificant
to be worthy OF attention. Port
Townsend does not recognize them
as parties to the contract. The slight
est conception Of propriety on their
part would have forbidden their tax
ing any action in the matter ut all.
But they are not recognized in the
case. lis far as Port Townsend is con-
cerned- No, We don't blame the
whole conference; We try to discrim-
inate as far as possible.

Il left the colony" said he, ''be

What are your objections to the
colony?"
George Venable Smith is general
superintendent, never does any man.
ual labor and has no nse for any one
who does not coincide with his views:
that is, who does not do and say, with
much obedieuce, whatever he tells

rs the dissatisfaction generals"
Pretty general. Many who object
to Lis seheming are afraid to saw
anything and remain quiet. The dis
satisfaction is more general than
many suppose"
What is your opinion of the colo
ny scheme:"
Il believe it is nothing more than
a land specializing scheme of Smith
and number of Chicago people"
How many coIonists aro there on
the grounds?"
"Abont 300. As mauy as fifty
have left the colony and gone home"
Are there others who will leaye?'
"Yes; there will be another detach
ment arrive in Seattle next Monday"
Are they all housed?"
Many are yet living IL tents. IL

from outside parties. Many will te

closed down by this time for lack of
logs"
What other industry have tkev
besides saw mill!"
They have fishing outfits, but are
doing nothing ii it. They will har-
vet torty or fifty acres in potatoes.
They have mad plenty to eat So far;
but 1t vail require a vast sum OF mo-
ney, $4,000. Help will have to come
from the east pretty soon or they will
have to disband."
How do they supply colonists
with groceries, c,c!"
The management agreed TO fur
nIsh merchandise aL q cost of fifteen
per cent above wholesale prices, and
instead OF that colonists are forced TO
pay twenty Per cent. above the Seat
tie retail prices"
What sum OF money have they

about $4,000. This is what we
blame them for. They have spent
